Fashola, all over the world you only toll new roads. You do not collect taxes from people to build roads and ask them to pay to use the roads.
I have no problem with you tolling your new or yet to be commenced Calabar Funtua road as soon as you complete it, but tolling Lagos-Ibadan-Ore-Onitsha-PortHarcourt road built by Oyinbo is not tainable. Why must the people always "pay a little"? When is government going to be taking responsibility for herself? For example, the Lagos-Ibadan-Ore-Beni-Asaba-Onitsha-etc is a trans-Africa road (Mombasa-Lagos-Highway), running all the way from Dakar in Senegal to Mombassa in Kenya, where else do you have tolls other than Nigeria

I send my children to private school, because government schools have no quality teachers
I provide my electricty because, as governor for 8 years you could not give light to your state, rather blaming FG
I sank my borehole because as governor for 8 years, you could not supply portable water to the state
I excavated the gutter on my street because you could not build street roads nor provide drainage
I pay monthly fee for refuse collection, a duty that is generally a government responsibility world-over
I pave my street road because for 8 years as governor you did not care, rather planting flowers at my round about
I pay private security guard on my street because as governor for 8 years you could not provide security
I paid 27% of my salary to Lagos State as tax, yet I got no correct tax clearance certificate for same amount because one "Alpha-Beta" is in charge of the process
I I pay toll on Lekki road because my governor concessioned the service to his friends and bond me in for 15 years without option
I pay 5% VAT on all my purchases, yet government cannot tell me what they are doing with the money

Now you want to charge me toll for passing the road built with my taxes, years before you ever thought of going into government. What have you done with all my annual vehicle licence fee, MOT fee, advert fees, radio fees, road worthiness, etc?

PLEASE, OGA FASHOLA, GO BUILD NEW ROADS AND TOLL THEM, LEAVE THE ONES BUILT BY COLONIAL MASTERS!!! IF YOU CANNOT MANAGE THE OFFICES BUHARI HAS SADDLED YOU WITH, KINDLY RESIGN. IT IS NOT BY FORCE TO BE MINISTER.

as long as the toll rates are reasonaby regulated with the roads up to par with whats available on countries like South Korea, China,USA. I.E standard road network, embankments and benchmarks, highway plazas with hygienic mordern restrooms, effective highway patrol etc

I'm for it.

More jobs springing up for indigenous private road construction companies and their labor forces and much more.

We shouldn't play politics with every national issue pls! Re-introduction of Tolls should be a welcome idea!
The most important thing is; ensuring the proper management of funds generated through the Tolls as well as timely maintenance of the Country's Highways!

A welcome idea?? I respectfully disagree with u sir. Tolling the highways can never be a welcome idea. In light of the pervading circumstances in the economy, it's a short term sacrifice we may have to make, but calling it a welcome idea is stretching it too far.

Based on the above quote of yours, there's absolutely zero point in getting into any form of discussion with you and your kind and I'm not even interested.

You have a biafra and anti Nigeria mentality so why engage you and your kind in any sane and rational conversation about Nigeria.

Worry about your biafra and let Nigerians worry about Nigeria.

The country is hard then someone wakes up to say he wants to implement road tax that was abolished years ago as a result of similar issue with that of Lekki toll gate. That's how they suggested the increase of VAT from 5% to 15% which concerning the side effect. It will be hypocritical for a government to kick against subsidy during previous government and support it now and same government introduce policy without looking at the side effect. for the benefit of thou, I was against subsidy removal

Well every sane country has tolls. It will also limit the criminals that travel from place to place to rob for Christmas. When they think about the fare, they will go and find better work. Plus where is the money for taking care of the roads or building? Every state should have toll. Though the toll should not be an outrageous amount and there should be alternative route. I also think the road networks should be reviewed. For a country like Nigeria, going by road shouldn't take as long as it does. I don't think we are using a good or efficient road network as of now.

Well said!

Fawklicant:
There's hardly anywhere in tne world I know where govt concessons roads it already built to a private entity. What they do is they ask you to build entirely new roads with shorter routes or new roads linking new communities and then you toll only after you have completed the construction. When our govt imports foreign ideas, they tend to twist it to serve themselves, because the average Nigerian hardly knows better.

Thus is very correct. I hope guys would see this.people are already no screaming great etc.How can U toll an existing rd built by govt?what happened to the taxes paid by motorist plying the rd.The one sure tax everyone pays if they have a car in Nigeria is Rd Tax if you do not pay you are at the mercy of law enforcement agents on the road.

Like someone stated earlier His policies are for the rich.
The rich don't travel inter state they travel by air.
So those of you applauding this should think carefully, why were toll gate abolished? Why are they being brought back?.

To me this toll gates shows no signs of economic and infra structural development. there is a provision for maintenance of roads in the budget so what then happens when we are taxed for maintenance of roads, is that provision stopped?.

Though people may feel the burden of paying toll gates but it comes with economic benefits such as,adequate maintenance of roads,smooth journey,safety for the commuters,job creations through maintenance e.t.c these benefits worth paying for.

God please frustrate the plans of those who desire and seek joy in extracting paind from already impoverished Nigerians.
First, the road for which tolls are to be collected are they the ones we currently ply?
If so, they should rethink the idea as this will be economic extortion.
Why? The roads are in terrible conditions, to take toll on them is to add salt to a grevious injury.
Secondly, The world has moved on from physical tolls which exerts untold harship on commuters and causes needless traffick.
So to attempt another inconvenience on the one already experienced by drivers and commuters and after this wicked punishement they have to pay you for it, is to make bricks without mortar like the proverbial King Pharaoh.

Suggestions
1. Make sure, Government pays his dues and responsibilities, by providing NEW standard motorable road, comparable to what is obtainable in other part of the world where tolls are collected. Empahsis on the NEW.
2. Ensure new Highways are constructed and the problems associated to road route/use are limited.
3. Make sure no physical tolls are installed, except at the country's border, but Road cameras, and Technology that reads the car plates and time when the toll was incurred.
This toll will be calculated and sent to registered phone number of the plates number, then payment will be done by the owner in not more than 7 days. failure of which a fine is given which will increase on further default.

Moreso, tie the infractures to the licence renewal process so that defaulters can pay before renewal or re-issue of licences.

Then make sure no nonsense contract of BOT for 25years is used, as this is just pure rip off.
Make sure no useless company are use to collect tolls.
Tolls will be paid into goverment account directly.
No story abeg.
